Directors of tanker owner International Seaways were the best paid among US-domiciled cargo shipping outfits last year.
Public filings indicate that average director pay of $222,000 at the New York outfit was about 37% higher than the most generous company in 2017 — the $162,000 average paid by Seaways’ former affiliate Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG).
International Seaways also featured the highest remuneration for an individual director: the $376,000 handed to chairman Douglas Wheat.
